Penne with Italian Sausage, Roma Tomatoes, and Arugula.



Ingredients

1 Package of Penne Pasta
1 Package of Sweet Italian Sausage
8 Roma Tomatoes
1 Package of Arugula
1 Tablespoon of Butter
1 Tablespoon of Flour
1 Cup of White Cooking Wine
Olive Oil

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile slice a shallow "X" in the bottom of your roma tomatoes. Fill a bowl with ice and water and set it next to the stove.

Poach tomatoes into the boiling water. Watch for their skins to start to wrinkle and split, 1 to 2 minutes, then scoop them out with a slotted spoon and transfer them to the ice water bath. Once cooled, transfer the tomatoes to a cutting board. Use your fingers or a paring knife to peel off the tomato skins. Slice tomatoes, put into a bowl and set aside.

Peel skins off of sweet Italian sausage.  Break up sausage in a skillet with a spatula and cook over medium heat until brown. Add roma tomatoes and wine, then cook until boiling. Add tablespoon of butter and the tablespoon of flour.  Cook until lightly thickened.  Toss half the bag of arugula into the sauce mix.

Arrange pasta on a plate, spoon sauce over the pasta and sprinkle with fresh parmesan cheese.
